Railing "Saddle Planter" for Porch, Deck, Balcony

An easy way to add color to a railing

Self-mounting — just slip over the railing, no screws, no brackets!

Stable; planters stay put even in windy locations

Fits a standard 2x4 railing

Dress up your deck and add color to your front porch with these convenient self-mounting planters. Thanks to a patented saddle groove, they slip right over deck railings without tools or fasteners, and they won't blow away or fall off. Choice of designer colors.

I have purchased approximately 6 of these. The first time, fitting it to the deck railing was difficult as it didn't fit snug. To protect from being blown in the wind, holes were made and secured with wire. Sealed the holes but over time soil and water leaked.

The plastic material gets brittle and cracked for the sun. I bought a double set and put one secured to the rail and the other with no holes made into the bottom.

The design should be altered to secure it in a way that it does not get dislodges in strong wind.

Although very attractive to look at, the practical problems are the short lasting material, expensive, mildew spoils the white, and securing safely is not thought through in the design. the lips are too far apart to fit snug on deck railing. A good idea but poorly designed and too expensive to replace after one season when the sun eats the material and it cracks like an eggshell. Disappointed that such an attractive item is badly made.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Perfect addition to the deck. Needed to soften up the hardscape of the deck and patio, potted plants just weren't enough. The railing planters were perfect, add color, interest and softness at a higher level. The different lengths of planters makes spacing so easy.

I purchased 2 Railing Planters last year. I liked them so much that I bought 4 more this year. It really adds bizazze to my deck & some privacy. I love them & have received many compliments. Tip: Make sure you measure correctly first before ordering !!

I started my first outdoor flower garden and this product succeeded my expetations! Easy to use, does not need any additional assembly and fits perfect on my porch railings! Flowers are thriving and could not be more pleased.
